How to read this page

A hit is an estimated $100k+ first year. Revenue is estimated from Steam reviews, so read figures as "about". Earnings are sales on Steam after discounts and regional prices, before Steam's 30% cut, refunds and sales tax. About 58% of it reaches the developer.
Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 15 games tagged both Card Battler and Trading Card Game priced $10 to $20. 4 of 15 of them earned $100k+, against 26.5 in 100 for Card Battler-only games and 2 of 8 for Trading Card Game-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Card Battler alone and is too small to compare with Trading Card Game alone.

Both: 15 games priced $10 to $20; 4 of 15 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 12 of 15 launches · $10k+ 8 of 15 launches · $100k+ 4 of 15 launches.
